“In Him was life, original, unborrowed, underived. This life is not inherent in man. He can possess it only through Christ. He cannot earn it; it is given him as a free gift if he will believe in Christ as His personal Saviour. 'This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent' (John 17:3). This is the open fountain of life for the world.”  1SM 296

Note: This quote used to be the absolute proof that Jesus did not inherit His divinity to the exclusion of all other clear evidence to my shame. The Bible clearly states that Jesus is the express image of the Father (Heb 1:2-4) and that He was given to have life in Himself as the Father did (John 5:26). Using Miller's Rules and allowing all inspiration to speak equally to this passage, it becomes very clear that the Life IN Christ which He inherited from His Father was unborrowed and underived. The statement speaks of the quality of the inheritance, not the source of the life. The passage says "IN Christ" not "OF Christ independent of the Father."

If the Father has life original and unborrowed and He shares it with His Son AS He Himself has it then it is the same unborrowed life. This is what John 5:26 says. AS the Father has life in Himself SO He has given to the Son to have life in Himself. The "AS" and "SO" tell us that it is the same life, the same quality. The Trinitarian view actually creates the situation that the Father's inheritance is something that would damage the Son, it presents inheritance as a negative and destructive thing. Yet inheritance is the very heart of the identity of Christ in Hebrews 1 and 2. The joy of inheritance is the centre of the Christian's joy and confidence, the heart of righteousness by faith.

The word Trinity nowhere occurs in the Scriptures. The principal text supposed to teach it is 1John [5]:7, which is an interpolation. Clarke says, "Out of one hundred and thirteen manuscripts, the text is wanting in one hundred and twelve. It occurs in no MS. before the tenth century. And the first place the text occurs in Greek, is in the Greek translation of the acts of the Council of Lateran, held A. D. 1215 - J. N. Loughborough, RH Nov 5, 1861
